SAILING NIGHT

Every year in late February or early March, Hampton Rotarians and friends bravely sail forth towards the setting sun on Port Phillip Bay. We always take our incoming GSE team along for the ride, and 2010 saw the girls from Turkey enjoying a view of Melbourne form the sea. The sailors arive back hungry, wet, and exhilarated to tuck into a traditional Australian BBQ next to a view of the Sandringham Yacht

FOOTY TIPPING COMPETITION

The annual Footy Tipping is now complete, after weeks of watching some members climb the ladder, and sadly, some sinking. Congratulations to Liz Ware [ably helped by her elderly father] who won hands down. Half the money raised will do towards the Eradication of Polio, while Liz will enjoy the rest. Marie Laney and Philip Heath both won a block of chocolate for managing to pick 8 winners in one weekend, and Helen and Greg Wragg tied for the wooden spoon.

Many thanks to Carolyn Ryan for organising this popular event.

SOUP AND GREAT COMPANY

Hampton members and friends enjoyed a social lunch provided by the very generous Garners on Sunday 13th September. Dick Garner showed us his culinary skills in cooking 4 different kinds of delicious soup, together with irresistible fresh bread, cheese, pate and other accompaniments. Fresh fruit and chocolate torte complimented the meal beautifully.

Guests brought their own wine, lubricating all extremely well. A great deal of fun and laughter occurred, and even some Rotary business was slyly slipped in.

A very simple, effective idea. Many thanks to Dick and Sue Garner.
